I love it, but I wish there was a way to still seed while using it.

Started with Ubuntu's initial 4.10 release back in '04. I wish I still had the Live CD they mailed me. When Ubuntu ditched Gnome for Unity I switched to Mint. Up until a few months ago I was dual-booting Windows alongside it, but with 10's EOL approaching I'm ditching it.

I do keep an old laptop running Win10 specifically for some Audio-related software I just can't get to work in Linux.

To be honest, even if that wasn't the case I still couldn't be convinced to go south of the border. I don't want to contribute to their economy if I can avoid it.

My stepfather works for a company based in the US. They recently had to cancel a conference since it was in Ohio, and nearly all the staff here refused to attend.

This is going to affect more than just tourism.

Only when people try to speak French to me, how dare they?

At least when I was a kid (in Ontario), we aren't taught Quebecois French. We're taught Parisienne French.

A mixture of practice, and genuinely not caring what the outcome is.

In my neighbourhood they're all gone. There are quite a few liberal ones left sitting out on some intersections though.

Thank you. Sharing paywalled links amounts to nothing more than advertising.

I would not, simply because it's an online service. I avoid those whenever possible, and for such a simple piece of software I would expect it to run locally on my machine.

edit: by simple I don't mean you did a poor job. I'm sure you put a lot of hard work into it, I just mean the concept of a word processor is simple.

Anytime I see "bleeding heart" I know what follows after is complete bullshit.

Nestle is one of the largest "employers" of children on Earth. The practices they use for Chocolate farming alone are enough to vilify them permanently.

Cellar Door Games is based in Toronto. They made a few noteworthy games, in particular Rogue Legacy.

Lol tell the ISPs to do their job then. As I already stated earlier, Fibre and DSL are not available in quite a few areas. It isn't as simple as you think.

I once heard someone define it as "The opposite of yoink".

Wired isn't an option. ISP's no longer 56k service over phone, nor Broadband DSL.

Fibre requires a main trunk line nearby, which are typically routed through cell towers. No cell tower, no fibre or cable service.

There is no Canadian alternative that can provide a service like Starlink. I live in a rural area, and they're literally the only way I can get a reliable internet connection. I've tried Xplornet and Mobile Broadband, neither can provide a reliable connection, or are have prohibitive bandwidth caps.

I'm not even that far from Toronto, I'm technically still in the GTA. There are no cell towers nearby due to the community protesting against them going up. I'm lucky to get a single bar on a clear day.

I'm all for using a Canadian alternative, but there just isn't one for a lot of people.

Joke answer: Take You For a Ride from the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 OST.

This. It's specifically a joke about El Salvador.
